Home of accused North Forest HS shooter hit in drive-by

KTRK-TV is reporting that the family of a North Forest High School student who police say shot a classmate has experienced a drive-by shooting at their home overnight.

Warren Lewis’ attorney says his mother and sisters were at home when the shooting started. Police were able to get them to safety.

Lewis, 18, was arrested and is accused of shooting another student at North Forest High School. He’ll remain in custody.

His attorney, Tanika Solomon, asked the court to reduce his $30,000 bond, but the judge denied the request, due to the seriousness of having a gun on campus, the station reported. Lewis has said he was the victim of bullying.

Lewis’ attorney acknowledged that jail might be the safest place for him, saying that Wednesday night there was violence in his neighborhood and they believe his family was a target.

Lewis’ mother and sister were in court Thursday but didn’t talk to reporters, KTRK said.

Prosecutors say they will file an additional charge against Lewis for having a weapon on campus.

KHOU-TV reported that Solomon, Lewis’ attorney, told the judge the family had several bullet holes in their home.
